Microsoft had more to share on Windows 11 at its special event that saw the company unveil new members of the Surface family, including the Surface Pro 9, Surface Studio 2+, and Surface Laptop 5, along with a bunch of accessories and peripherals.
The software titan also announced several upcoming improvements and apps coming to the OS.
These changes and best illustrated in this video that Redmond had prepared to outline the additions in development for the operating system. The clip is a mix of the old and new, with File Explorer tabs and the Xbox Controller Bar getting equal billing with the upcoming new features.
Take a look:
Really, the OS has never looked better!
While the video may be of the Windows 11 2022 Update, the platform as a whole has seen massive improvements in all areas. Users will also be able to try a range of new features that will soon be available.
These include a native screen recorder, iCloud integration, and a couple of Apple apps.
To start things off, we have built-in screen recording capabilities that will finally arrive for Windows 11. These will be integrated into the Snipping Tool and allow you to take screenshots and record your display from a single application.
We also have a handful of additions that will improve the compatibility of Windows 11 computers with iPhones and the overall Apple ecosystem.
The redesigned Photos app is getting some new powers. It will be able to collect photos not only from OneDrive but also from iCloud. This integration will require installing the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store, which is now available to Insiders for testing.
Apple is also getting ready to launch Apple TV and Music apps in the Microsoft Store, which means Windows 11 users can finally stop using iTunes for Apple Music.
These two apps are on track to be available for testing later this year and to be launched publicly in 2023.
